hey guys quick question.l am planning on helping a friend work on his s70. he is planning on using permatex gasket maker.l want to ask if it is a good idea to use permatex copper spray together with the gasket maker?how does that work.any input will be much appreciated.thanks

 

What is he planning on putting that on?

 

he has a lifter problem like l did. l am helping him change his lifters and oil pan seals.but he doesnt want to spend alot getting volvo sealant.we are putting the sealant on the cam cover, and oil pan.

 

I don't think that will work. It is suppose to work with gaskets like the one that goes between the head and block but not the cam cover.

He can get Permatec Anerobic Sealant for $12 at NAPA. I used it on my head job.

 

can you please post a link on how it looks like.l mean the one you used for your head job,just to make sure l get the same thing?thanks

 

I'm sure it's in that lifter link I sent you.
Lifter Replacement, Volvo 850 / S70 Turbo

Just looked, the pic is missing. I'll go post it in a few minutes.

 

thanks brother.

 

If you get the small foam rollers from Wal-mart they come in a little clear pan. I didn't realize that and purchased a seperate pan for $2 or something like that. One tube can do 2 covers. You should put it on pretty thin.

 

thank you brother for your time and input.l really appreciate it.

 

hi I am ready to put back the cam cover and I have purchased the permatek
RED

is the red a good choice? please help I will be doing this in 1 hr from now .

 

It should be put on with anaerobic sealant, which is also red, but I assume that is not what you mean. Get the anaerobic kind like in the picture above. Very good stuff.

 

Does the tube have ANAEROBIC SEALANT written on it?

If not, find one and buy one.

 

thank you, i have the right one from a local auto part the one on the picture
I return the Walmart one.
now my problem is that it won't start.
